Simon Bird saying Alan Pardew rumours getting stronger and Martin Jol is not our number 1 target.

That's the scary thing. IMO this appointment would be much worse than Souness, i honestly can't see anything other than a Leeds style collapse with Pardew in charge.
This comes after a series of regular outbreaks of him talking about Liverpool, but to suggest it's somehow more acceptable to play so wretchedly and lose 3-0 because it is Liverpool is absolutely bang out of order.
Sack him and get Pardew.
